Life Partner : Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib conceived by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Children : Sheikh Hasina, Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh This great leader played a dominant role in the
struggle for self-rule. It was Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Rehana, Sheikh Jamal, Sheikh Russel
under whose charismatic leadership the dream of
Parents: Sheikh Lutfar Rahman, Sayera Khatun independent Bangladesh was materialized.
Bangabandhu dreamt of a ‘Sonar Bangla’ (the Golden
Bengal) free of hunger, poverty, corruption, illiteracy,
communalism and ignorance. Thus Bangabandhu and
Bangladesh are synonymous with each other.
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the great man
of politics, has suffered a life of torture and loneliness
of imprisonment to convey the message of liberation
and rights of the people of Bengal who were eager to
receive the unique message of freedom from the
shackles of subjugation. His only vow was to make the
poor people of Bengal smile, to build a golden Bengal.
Food, clothing, shelter, education, health - by fulfilling
these basic rights, people will enjoy a better life, will be
free from the scourge of poverty; that very thought
was in his mind and heart. Giving up all the comforts of
his life, ignoring numerous obstacles, he has gifted the
Bengali nation with a thousand-year-old dream of
'independence'. All the banks were nationalized in the
spirit of implementing the promises of independence
and liberation war - five more banks including Agrani
Bank were born which have been making continuous
contribution since the reconstruction of the war-torn
Bangladesh. He had to sacrifice himself to the
ruthless bullets of the assassins before gaining
national restructuring and economic prosperity after
gaining independence. The nation became
speechless, the vibrant journey to build a golden
Bengal came to a standstill. But it could not obliterate
Bangabandhu from the hearts of the people.
Bangabandhu will live in the hearts of all, young and
old, shining with glory. Although he is not in front of
the eyes, his place is in the middle of the eyes. This
segment of the Annual Report-2019 is dedicated to
Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman on his 100th birth anniversary.

Overview of
Managing Director
and CEO
Assalamu Alaikum,
I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to all of you for attending the 15th Annual General Meeting of
Agrani Bank Limited. At this moment of pride, I would like to share my sense of satisfaction with the overall
performance of our bank. I am pleased to report that Agrani Bank Limited has demonstrated great resilience
in a uniquely challenging year in 2021 when there was unprecented global turbulence with recovery from
COVID-19 across the world. We have multiplied our net profit and produced our best results in different
indicators compared to those of the previous year.We would not have done it without the whole hearted
support and guidance of our honourable Board of Directors, confidence of our valued customers and
cooperation of the stakeholders. I would like to state my gratitude for your sustained support during the
period of turbulence. I am presenting this annual report of 2021 to you amid a happy time as the opening of
our pride Padma Bridge, the largest bridge in Bangladesh has brought exuberance and excitement to the
nation. I feel proud to be a humble witness of this historic moment in this year as the Padma Bridge was
opened on 25th June 2022 which has unveiled a new dawn in the development and communication of
Bangladesh. Our beloved country has made an epoch-making story of "Padma Bridge", whose unquestioned
architect and dreamer is our Prime Minister. It is Sheikh Hasina's political will that lies at the core of the
Padma Bridge becoming a reality. It was Her single-minded determination to build it and the courage to
overcome many of the odds. The Padma Bridge is the symbol of pride, hope and aspiration of the nation.
Depending on the incomparable determination of our Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a new era of growth and
development has opened up in Bangladesh. It is my blissful pleasure that ABL is the sole supplier of foreign
currencies to this mega project. I am feeling proud to say that ABL has provided 1.40 billion US Dollar for
realizing this dream project into reality. We did not have to buy any foreign currencies from the reserve of
Bangladesh Bank to finance the project.
This year we are also witnessing a serious geopolitical tension between Ukraine and Russia which has
worsened. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, war has returned to the heart of Europe. Although we
cannot yet fully assess the full impact of this war on the political world order and on the global economy but
certainly we are about to face prolonged serious economic crises in near future.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a key initiatives and an essential tool for the development of the
developing countries of the world throughout the globe, which ultimately reflects through its initiatives towards
the betterment of the disadvantaged people of a society. Bangladesh Bank officially started encouraging towards
mainstreaming CSR in Banks and financial institutions of Bangladesh to achieve Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs).The objectives of SDGs are to transform our country No poverty, Zero hunger, Good Health and Well-being,
Quality Education, Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and
Economic Growth, Industry; Innovation and Infrastructure, Reduced Inequality, Sustainable Cities and Communities,
Climate Action.
ABL truly believes that a better society is prerequisite for a better business environment. To build a better society
ABL’s ethical standard is not only meant for maximizing profit, rather its vision is built up society where human dignity
and rights receive the highest consideration and evaluation.CSR is the idea by which business can balance profit
making activities with activities that give benefits to the society. It involves developing business with a positive
relationship to the society in which they operate.A dedication to social responsibilities can actually turn into profits, as
the ideas inspire investors to invest and consume to purchase goods and services from the company. Put simply, social
responsibility helps companies to develop a good reputation.To provide CSR facilities (Financial help) ABL always give
emphasis/preference on prioritized sector such as some special community or group (the people who are physically
disabled, deprived and lagged behind, affected by natural calamities, meritorious but poor), some areas (poverty
reduction, human resources development, expansion of education, health & treatment, establishment of ‘Day Care
Center’), expansion of history, culture, tradition, sports and special attention to protect environment.

AUDITORS’ REPORT &
Audited Financial Statements 2021

Agrani Bank Limited

Annual Report-2021 228


Independent Auditors’ Report
to the Shareholders of Agrani Bank Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its subsidiaries
(the “Group”) as well as the separate financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited (the “Bank”), which
comprise the consolidated and separate balance sheet as at December 31, 2021, and the consolidated
and separate profit and loss account, consolidated and separate statement of changes in equity and
consolidated and separate cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated
and separate financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified
Opinion section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group and
separate financial statements of the Bank (the “financial statements”) give a true and fair view of the
consolidated balance sheet of the Group and the separate balance sheet of the Bank as at December
31, 2021, and of its consolidated and separate profit and loss accounts, consolidated and separate
statement of changes in equity and its consolidated and separate cash flow statement for the year
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as explained in
note # 2 and comply with the Bank Companies Act, 1991 (as amended up to date), the Companies
Act, 1994, the rules and regulations issued by the Bangladesh Bank and other applicable laws and
regulations.

Basis for Qualified Opinion


We refer to note 11 to the financial statements, which depicts “deposits and other accounts” amounting
to BDT 100,864.39 crore. On a sample basis, we have performed the audit procedures on deposits &
other accounts in 31 branches, accounting for 27% of the total deposits held by the Bank. We have
observed a difference of BDT 39.73 crore between the financial statements and the detailed account-
wise break-up of the deposit balance of these 31 branches. The bank’s management was unable to
provide any reconciliation regarding the said difference. Additionally, we were unable to verify the
said difference by alternative audit procedures. Thus, we are unable to determine whether or not any
adjustments were necessary for the said difference balance. It is pertinent to note that the amount of
this difference implies a malfunction in the bank’s core banking solution, which could have had severe
consequences on the financial statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditors’ responsibilities for the
audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements section of our report. We are independent
of the Group and the Bank in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), rules & regulations issued by Bangladesh
Bank, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code and
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) Bye-laws. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to the following notes of the financial statements, which describe the effects in the
Bank’s financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

229 Annual Report-2021


Independent Auditors’ Report
to the Shareholders of Agrani Bank Limited

on Risk-Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) (Revised Regulatory Capital Framework for banks in line with
Basel III) dated December 2014, the bank must maintain 10% of the risk-weighted asset as minimum
capital. The bank has maintained 7.55% (Consolidated 7.48%) of the risk-weighted asset as minimum
capital.

4. We refer to note no. 18 to the financial statements, where the management has disclosed the reason for
adjusting the opening balance of retained surplus/(deficit).

5. We refer the note no. 2.43, where the management has disclosed the reason for not declaring a dividend
for the current year.

Limited and Agrani Remittance House Canada Inc.

Key Audit Matters


Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
the audit of the financial statements for the financial year 2021. These matters were addressed in the
context of the audit of the financial statements and in forming the auditors’ opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter described below, our description
of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our
audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of
material misstatements of the financial statements. These results of our audit procedures, including
the procedures, performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying financial statements.

Other Matters

1. The Bank has six subsidiaries. Among the subsidiaries, Agrani Equity & Investment Limited is audited by
Islam Aftab Kamrul & Co. The auditor has given a modified report (EOM) for the said subsidiary. The emphasis
of matter issue is given below:

• Agrani Equity & Investment Limited


In courses of our verification, we observe that the company did not comply IFRS- 16 “Lease”. This
standard, which is mandatory for the periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019, will require lessees
to account for all leases on their balance sheets, including those which had previously been treated
as operating leases and accounted for in the P&L account as an “in-year” expense. Our opinion is not
modified in respect of this matter.

2. The maintenance service provider for core banking software (Temenos T24) of the Bank has withheld
providing the support service as of February 17 2020. Consequently, in all likelihood, there is a significant
possibility of disruption for whole banking services and activities. The management has also expressed the
same risk to the Bangladesh Bank via letter ref: GgwW: wcGg: AvBwU: 01:84/26/20, , dated February 19 2020.

3. The bank has an inventory management system software. The software is developed in-house. The software
records the fixed asset details such as cost value, accumulated depreciation, purchase date, book value,
quantity and location. By the end of every month, the software generates a depreciation voucher. The
related departments or branches use the voucher as source documents to record depreciation. However,
the software has several control deficiencies. Some such deficiencies are the transfer of the asset is not
recorded separately, non-consideration of the purchase date for calculating depreciation etc. 

4. We, as group auditors', had sent "Group reporting instructions" to the auditors of Agrani Equity & Investment
Limited for the year ended December 31 2021, as of 24 April 2022. However, we have not received any
response to date.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information
in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The annual report is
expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors' report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover other information, and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement
of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated and separate
financial statements and internal controls
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as explained in note # 2 and comply with the Bank Companies
Act, 1991 (as amended up to date), the Companies Act, 1994, the Rules and Regulations issued by the Bangladesh
Bank and other applicable Laws and Regulations and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error. The Bank Companies Act, 1991 (as amended up to date) and the Bangladesh Bank guidelines

233 Annual Report-2021


Independent Auditors’ Report
to the Shareholders of Agrani Bank Limited

require the management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control, and risk management functions of
the Bank. The management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal
controls and report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Bank's ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's and the Bank's financial reporting
process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the
related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group and the Bank to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible
for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Group's and Bank's audits. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.

Annual Report-2021 234


Independent Auditors’ Report
to the Shareholders of Agrani Bank Limited

We communicate with those charged with governance, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are, therefore, the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

financial position as at the end of the period, a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income for the period, a statement of changes in equity for the period, a statement of cash flows for the
period, notes - comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. As per IAS

Bangladesh Bank:
The presentation of the financial statements in prescribed format (i.e. balance sheet, profit and
loss account, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity, liquidity statement) and certain
disclosures therein are guided by the First Schedule (section 38) of the Banking Companies Act 1991
(as amendment up to date) and BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 and subsequent guidelines
of Bangladesh Bank. In the prescribed format there is no option to present assets and liabilities under
current and non-current classifications.
(b) Investments in shares and securities
IFRS:
As per requirements of IFRS 9, classification and measurement of investment in shares and securities
will depend on how these are managed (the entity's business model) and their contractual cash flow
characteristics. Based on these factors it would generally fall either under "at fair value through profit
or loss account" or under "at fair value through other comprehensive income" where any change in the
fair value (as measured in accordance with IFRS 13) at the year-end is taken to profit and loss account or
other comprehensive income respectively.
Bangladesh Bank:
As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 investments in quoted shares and unquoted shares
are revalued at the year end at market price and as per book value of last audited balance sheet
respectively. Provision should be made for any loss arising from diminution in value of investment;

Notes to the Financial Statements
As at and for the year ended 31 December 2021

a part of equity and any losses on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance
sheet date are charged in the profit and loss account. Interest on HFT securities including amortization
of discount are recognized in the profit and loss account. HTM securities which have not matured as at
the balance sheet date are amortized at the year end and gains or losses on amortization are recognized
in other reserve as a part of equity.
(d) Provision on loans and advances
IFRS:
As per IFRS 9 an entity shall recognize an impairment allowance on loans and advances based on
expected credit losses. At each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance
for loans and advances at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on
these loans and advances has increased significantly since initial recognition whether assessed on an
Individual or collective basis considering all reasonable information, including that which is forward-
looking. For those loans and advances for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since
initial recognition, at each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance at an
amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses that may result from default events on such loans and
advances that are possible within 12 months after reporting date.
Bangladesh Bank:
As per Bangladesh Bank instructions vide different circulars, a general provision @ 0.25% to 2% under
different categories of unclassified loans (standard/SMA loans) and special general provision for
Covid-19 @ 1% on PBD (Payment by deferral) facilitated accounts, should be maintained regardless
of objective evidence of impairment. And specific provision for sub-standard/doubtful/bad-loss loans
should be made at 5%, 20%, 50% and 100% respectively on loans net off eligible securities (if any).
Also, a general provision @ 0.5% - 1% should be provided for certain off-balance sheet exposures. Such
provision policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by IFRS 9.
(e) Recognition of interest in suspense
IFRS:
Loans and advances to customers are generally classified at amortized cost as per IFRS 9 and interest
income is recognized by using the effective interest rate method to the gross carrying amount over the
term of the loan. Once a loan subsequently become credit-impaired, the entity shall apply the effective
interest rate to the amortized cost of these loans and advances.
Bangladesh Bank:
As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, once a loan is classified, interest on such loans
are not allowed to be recognized as income, rather the corresponding amount needs to be credited to an
interest in suspense account, which is presented as liability in the balance sheet.
(f) Other comprehensive income
IFRS:
As per ‘IAS 1- Presentation of Financial Statements’, Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is a component
of financial statements or the elements of OCI are to be included in a single Other Comprehensive
Income statement.
Bangladesh Bank:

The templates of financial statements issued by Bangladesh Bank do not include Other Comprehensive
Income nor are the elements of Other Comprehensive Income allowed to be included in a single Other
Comprehensive Income (OCI) Statement. As such the Bank does not prepare the other comprehensive
income statement. However, elements of OCI, if any, are shown in the statements of changes in equity.
(g) Financial instruments - presentation and disclosure

instruments differently from those prescribed in IFRS 9. As such full disclosure and presentation

selling price and repurchase price will be treated as interest expense.
Bangladesh Bank:
As per BB circulars/guidelines, when a bank sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an
agreement to repurchase the same (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (REPO or stock
lending), the arrangement is accounted for as a normal sale transaction and the financial assets should
be derecognized in the seller’s book and recognized in the buyer’s book.

direct method or the indirect method. The presentation is selected to present these cash flows
in a manner that is most appropriate for the business or industry. The method selected is applied
consistently.

253 Annual Report-2021


Agrani Bank Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
As at and for the year ended 31 December 2021

operations as per ‘IAS 7- Statement of Cash Flows’.
Bangladesh Bank:

IFRS:
An intangible asset must be identified and recognized, and the disclosure must be given as per ‘IAS
38-Intangible Assets’.
Bangladesh Bank:
There is no regulation for intangible assets in BRPD circular no.14 dated 25 June 2003.
(o) Off balance sheet items
IFRS:
There is no term in the name of off-balance sheet items in any IFRS; hence there is no requirement for
disclosure of off-balance sheet items on the face of the balance sheet.
Bangladesh Bank:
As per BRPD circular no.14 dated 25 June 2003, off balance sheet items (e.g. Letter of credit, Letter of
guarantee etc.) must be disclosed separately on the face of the balance sheet.

marking to market concept with gain crediting to revaluation reserve.
b) Government Treasury Bills and Bonds designated as 'Held to Maturity (HTM)' at present value using
amortization concept.
c) Land and building at revalued amounts.

required management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affected the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenditures. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions have been reviewed considering business realities. Revisions of
accounting estimates have been recognized in the period in which the estimates have been revised and in the

benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from derecognition of an item of fixed
assets is to be recorded in profit or loss when the item is derecognized.
2.15.1 Impairment of fixed assets

asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An asset is carried at more than its recoverable amount if it carrying
amount exceeds the amount to be recovered through use or sale of the asset. If this is the case, the asset is
described as impaired and an impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the profit and loss statement
unless the asset is carried at revalued amount in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 16,

gains or losses recognized in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as
the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method
and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of
consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortization method or period.

2.15.3 Leases

IFRS 16: Leases has come into force on 1 January 2019, as adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of Bangladesh (ICAB). As Bangladesh Bank (BB) has no other alternative regulation or guidance regarding the
same, Agrani Bank limited has adopted IFRS 16 in preparing financial statements from 1 January 2020.

IFRS 16 Leases, defines a ‘lease’ as "A contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration". In order for such a contract to exist the user of the asset needs to
have the right to:

- Obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of asset (identifiable asset)

- The right to direct the use of asset

Agrani Bank Limited applied IFRS 16 using modified retrospective approach where the Bank measured the
lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted it using the bank’s incremental
borrowing rate at the date of initial application, and recognized a right-of-use asset at the date of initial
application on a lease-by-lease basis.

Right-of-use assets (ROU)

The Bank recognizes right-of-use assets at the date of initial application of IFRS 16. Right-of-use assets are
measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The right-of-use assets are
presented under fixed assets. (Note-8).

Lease Liability

At the commencement date of lease, the bank recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of
the lease payments to be made over the lease term using incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial
application. Lease liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability,
reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments.

Short-term lease and leases of low value assets

The Bank has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases of low value assets and
short-term lease, i.e. for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application. The Bank
recognizes lease payments associated with these leases as an expense. The contracts for premises with
branches, head office wings, circle office regional offices are considered for lease calculation.

The impacts of the new standard on lessees’ financial statements are: -

An increase in recognized assets and liabilities;

More lease expenses recognized in early periods of lease, and less in the later periods of a lease;

A shift in lease expense classification from rental expenses to interest expense and depreciation.

As per IFRS 16: Leases, summary of lease related information is provided in the below table:

except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity.

i) Current tax:

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantially enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to the tax payable in respect of previous years.

Provision for current income tax of the Bank has been made on taxable income @ 40% considering major
disallowances of expenses and concessional rates on certain incomes (0% on gain on trading of govt.
securities, 10% on capital gain of shares & MFs and 20% on dividend income) as per Income Tax Ordinance
(ITO) 1984.Tax provision of the Group entities is made on taxable income of subsidiaries at different rates
applicable as per the ITO 1984 and the tax authority of the country where it is incorporated.

Detail’s status of Tax Provision and Tax assessment are shown note 12.4 and annexure-F of the financial
statements.

ii) Deferred tax: Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized by the Bank on deductible or taxable temporary
differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting and the amount
used for taxation purpose as required by IAS 12 Income taxes and BRPD circular no.11 dated 12 December
2011. Deferred tax assets is recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are reviewed at each reporting period and are measured at the applicable tax rate as per
tax laws that are expected to be applied when the assets is realized and liability is settled. Any unrecognized
deferred tax assets or liabilities are reassessed at each reporting period and recognized only if that has become
probable that future taxable profit or loss will be available against which they can be used or settled.

Details of deferred tax assets or liabilities and amount recognized in profit and loss account for deferred tax
income or expense are given in note 9.4 in the financial statements.

iii) Assessment for uncertainty over income tax treatments (under IFRIC 23): At reporting date, the Bank
assessed to consider uncertain tax treatment separately or together in line with Income Tax ordinance
and rules 1984. The Bank applies significant judgment and past records of tax assessment and demand
in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. Since, the Bank is being operated as complex
financial intermediary to provide a comprehensive financial solution to customers, it assessed whether
the Interpretation of IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments had an impact on its consolidated
financial statements. Upon adoption of the interpretation, the Bank considered whether it has any uncertain
tax positions, particularly those relating to transfer pricing, payment under credit facilities etc. The Bank
determined, on its tax compliance and best practice, it is probable that its tax treatments (including those for
the subsidiaries) will be accepted by the taxation authorities. The interpretation did not have an impact on the
consolidated financial statements of the Bank.

2.33 Provisions

Provisions are recognized if the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events if
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation as of the Balance Sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the
obligation.

2.34 Earnings per share (EPS)


As per IAS 33 Earnings per share, the Bank has been reporting basic earnings per share as there has been no
dilution possibilities during the year. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of the Bank by the number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

All loan commitments remain as off-balance sheet items.

2.36 Materiality, Aggregation and Off Setting

Each material item as considered by management significant has been displayed separately in the
financial statements. No amount has been set off unless the Bank has legal right to set off the amount sand
intends to settle on a net Basis. Income and expenses are presented on a net Basis only when permitted by the
relevant accounting standards.

The values of any asset or liability as shown in the statement of financial position (balance sheet) are
not off-set by way of deduction from another liability or asset unless there exist a legal right therefor. No such
incident exists during the year.

2.37 Financial guarantees

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse
the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with
the terms of a debt instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and other
parties on behalf of customers to secure loans, overdrafts, other banking facilities and other various payments.
Financial guarantees are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on the dates the guarantees were
given as contingent liabilities.

2.38 Events after Reporting Period

As per IAS -10 "Events after Reporting Period" events after the reporting period are those events, favorable and
unfavorable, that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are
authorized for issue. Two types of events can be identified:

(a) those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period (adjusting
events after the reporting period); and

(b) those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period (non-adjusting events after
the reporting period).

2.39 Segment reporting

For the purpose of Segment Reporting as per International Financial Reporting Standard-8 "Operating
Segments", the following segments relating to revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities have been identified
and shown in the related notes accordingly as primary/secondary segments.

i) domestic operations in line with geographical segments;

ii) banking operations comprising of branches of the banking entity; and

iii) treasury operations comprising of the banking entity.


Information regarding the result of each reportable segment is included in Annexure-N. Performance is
measured Based on segment profit before provision, as included in the internal management reports that
are reviewed by the Bank’s Management. Segment report is used to measure performance as Management
believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to
other entities that operate within these industries.

2.40 Risk management

Being a financial institution, in the ordinary course of business, the Bank is sensitive to verities of risks. The
generic severity of such risk(s) is much intense in our locality due to presence of large number of banks and
complex financial transactions. In such highly competitive environment to ensure a bank’s consistent system
and performance, the presence of strong Risk Management culture is obligatory. Being compliant, the Bank is
now looking forward to take risk management practice to a different level, preventing risk before occurrence,

Bank in line of Basel the bank has formed a dedicated Risk Management Division. The details of ABL's risk
management are shown in the chapter "Risk Management".

2.40.1 Prevention of fraud

Fraud and forgery have become important issues in recent years. These have a major impact on our country‘s
economy, hindering economic development. Agrani Bank has always been focused on controlling fraud
and forgery by establishing and maintaining proper control systems. Today, fraud and forgery appear in
diverse forms. To prevent fraud and forgery, Agrani Bank has formed a Vigilance Division/ MD’s squad under
the direct supervision of Managing Director. This wing exclusively deals with all kinds of fraud and forgery
and acts independently where internal and external fraud and forgery incidents are escalated. The wing
also investigates, review the cause and report to the concerned authority accordingly. Also, the bank has a
Compliance Department under Internal Control & Compliance Division.

To protect the bank and its stakeholders’ interests, the investigation team identifies perpetrators and the
root cause of the reported incident. As a remedial course of action, preventive measures are recommended
to the business/functional unit to take necessary action relating to process improvements, recovery of
the misappropriated amount, adjustment of the operational loss, and appropriate action initiated against
the perpetrator. Investigation reports are also placed to the Board Audit Committee for their direction and
guidance. All fraud and forgery cases that were identified in 2021 were also duly reported to Bangladesh Bank
as per regulations and adequate provisions have been maintained in the books of accounts. On the other hand,
the management is exerting full efforts to recover the loss amount incurred due to fraud.

2.46 Standards issued but not yet effective

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 01 January 2020 and earlier application is permitted. However, the Bank has not early applied the following
new standards in preparing these financial statements.

2.46. a . Insurance Contracts

IFRS 17– Insurance Contracts was issued in May 2017 and applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2021. IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the standard. The objective of IFRS 17 is to ensure that an
entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. The Bank has not yet assessed
in potential impact of IFRS 17 on its financial statements.

2.46.b Amendments to References to Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

The IASB decided to revise the Conceptual Framework because some important issues were not covered and
some guidance was unclear or out of date. The revised Conceptual Framework, issued by the IASB in March
2018, includes:

• a new chapter on measurement;

• guidance on reporting financial performance;

• improved definitions of an asset and a liability, and guidance supporting these definitions; and

• clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement
uncertainty in financial reporting.

The Conceptual Framework does not have a stated effective date and the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) will start using it immediately.

2.46. c Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)


The amendments in Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) are changes to Appendix A Defined
terms, the application guidance, and the illustrative examples of IFRS 3 only. They:

• clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a
minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to
create outputs;

• narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to
customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs;

• add guidance and illustrative examples to help entities assess whether a substantive process has been
acquired; remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing
inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs; and

• add an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of
activities and assets is not a business.

The amendments are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and to asset acquisitions
that occur on or after the beginning of that period. Earlier application is permitted.

2.46.d Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8)

The changes in Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8) all relate to a revised definition of
'material' which is quoted below from the final amendments:

Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence


decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial
statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.

2.48 Changes in Accounting Policies

As per IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" Accounting Policies are
applied consistently for comparability between financial statements of different accounting periods. Changes
in Accounting Policies are applied retrospectively to the financial statements (if any). Comparative amounts
presented in the financial statements affected by the change in accounting policy for each prior period
presented.

2.49 Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgment has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has
had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the
nature of the services offered, customers, staffing, and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity
operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant
impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties concerning events or conditions which
may impact the consolidated entity unfavorably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Management has also assessed the overall impact on COVID 19 and has not identified any indications that
may cast doubt on the going concern of the group and the bank. Bank's primary business has not impacted
expressively as it has a significant growth even the pandemic declared by WHO except trade business. The
management does not see any issue concerning going concern due to the recent pandemic COVID-19. Besides,
the management is not aware of any other material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the
bank's ability to continue as a going concern.

2.50 Disclosure of FRC Policy on Use of Audited Financial Statements in Processing Loans

Audited Financial Statements are mandatory documents for any existing company at the time of applying for
new loan facility from bank. The bank uses the Audited Financial Statements while assessing any new credit
/ Loan facilities. In compliance with BRPD Circular Letter No. 04, dated January 04, 2021, the bank will obtain
audited financial statements while approving any new loan. It is also mandatory to the client of the bank to
submit annual audited financial statements of the company on an annual basis. Audited Financial Statements
are required to be preserved with the loan file by the bank. However, in some special circumstances where
latest Audited Financial Statements may not be available, the bank uses interim Management Accounts for
the Borrower Risk Rating (BRR) or ICRR for the purpose of renewal of any loan facilities. Such BRR or ICRR
is approved by the Management only for Interim use with an instruction to update the same with the Audited
Financial Statements. However, as per the BRPD Circular Letter 35 dated July 06, 2021, and FRC Letter No.
178/FRC/APR/2021/27(2) dated December 5, 2021, the Bank has implemented verification of financials
through DVS 100% for all our clients which are listed with Stock Exchanges.

The Bank is required to calculate the Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets (CRAR) as per Guidelines on Risk-Based Capital
Adequacy (RBCA) (Revised Regulatory Capital Framework for banks in line with Basel III) dated December 2014. In order
to maintain the ratio of minimum Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets (CRAR) on the Bank’s request, for the year ended 31
December 2021, Bangladesh Bank has given forbearance for provision amounting to BDT 5,023.64 crore (For loans and
advances, BDT 4,545.38 and for other items BDT 478.26 crore) vide letter no- DOS(CAMS)1157/01(II)-C/2022-2298;
dated 28 April 2022.
However, Bank will have to maintain the forbore provision amount over the next five consecutive years starting from
2022. Moreover, any required provision over BDT 5,023.64 crore will be needed to be maintained in the relevant year (If
any). In addition to that, Bangladesh Bank has also given the following instructions through the said letter:
1. To calculate amortization for the subordinated bond issued by the bank at the year-end instead of at the beginning of the year.
2. For calculating risk-weighted assets, the bank should use 125% risk weight for the subordinated bond issued by
various organizations.
3. For calculating risk-weighted assets against Staff loan and Other assets, the bank should use risk weight as per RBCA guideline.
4. Deferral facility is allowed for non-deduction of balances of deferred tax assets (BDT 1,038.91 crore) & intangible
assets (BDT 146.69 crore) from CET-1 Capital. However, the bank will have to follow the following for the deduction of
deferred tax assets & intangible assets balances:

CRAR calculation date Deduction rate


31 December 2022 20%
31 December 2023 40%
31 December 2024 60%
31 December 2025 80%
31 December 2026 100%

Although the Bank has taken forbearance to maintain the ratio of Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets (CRAR), it could
not maintain the ratio of Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets (CRAR) and the buffer capital as per RBCA guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank.

53 Workers Participation Fund

Chapter-XV of the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended up to 2013) deals with the workers’ participation
in company’s profit by way of ‘Workers Participation Fund’ and ‘Welfare Fund’. This Act requires the “Industrial
Undertakings” to maintain provision for workers’ profit participation fund @5% on net profit. Since this
requirement contradicts with the ‘Section 11’ of the Bank Company Act 1991 (as amended up to 2013), banks
in Bangladesh took up the issue collectively and sought opinion from the Association of Bankers Bangladesh
Limited (ABB) on the same. ABB wrote a letter to the Ministry of Finance of the Government of People’s
Republic of Bangladesh on 09 March 2016 to draw attention of the honorable Finance Minister regarding
relevance and applicability of Chapter-XV of the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended up to 2013) for
the bank companies and to obtain a direction on the issue. The Ministry of Finance revealed their opinion that
WPPF should not be relevant for bank companies, and therefore it should not be applied there. They also
sought for an opinion on this issue from Bangladesh Bank. Subsequently, Bangladesh Bank agreed on all the
logics and legal opinion collected by the ABB and expressed their consensus with them on 29 November 2016.
In this backdrop, the Ministry of Finance has given their instruction, vide letter no. 53.00.0000.311.22.002.17-
130 dated 14 February 2017, for not applying Chapter-XV of the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended up
to 2013) in bank companies. Therefore, no provision in this regard has been made in the financial statements
for the year ended on 31 December 2021.

Agrani Bank Limited
Islamic Banking Unit
Notes to the Financial Statements

ANNEXURE - P.4

Islami Banking activities was approved in 15 different branches of Agrani Bank Limited upon setting up Islami Banking
windows with separate entry door and counter under a separate book of accounts. Islamic Banking Windows are operated
under Islami Banking Unit where overall Islami Banking different from those of conventional banking. Accounting system
is vital for ensuring Shariah compliance in such banking operation. Our Islamic Banking operation is committed to follow
the accounting principles that refrain from interest. Islami Banking operation run through a separate Islami banking
Software. Here are the principles for accounting under its Islamic Banking.

i. Deposits and Profit Sharing:

Islamic Banks mobilize its deposits through two principles of Shariah to provide interest-free banking facilities

a. Al-Wadiah and

b. Mudaraba principles.

In Al-Wadiah Account, bank receives money with the condition to return the same, with permission to use/invest without
paying benefit. In Mudaraba deposits, bank plays the role of entrepreneur (Mudarib) and the depositors as fund provider
(Rabb al Maal). Under this principle, profit accrued from investment and financing are shared as per pre-agreed ratio.
Islami Banking in Agrani Bank Limited share profit with depositors in accordance with the Guideline for Islami Banking
by Bangladesh Bank.

Mudaraba depositors are entitled to get minimum 65% of the investment income earned through deployment of
Mudaraba Fund as per weight age assigned to each type of Mudaraba deposit. In the year 2019, the Bank paid 65%of
Investment Income earned through deployment of Mudaraba Fund. In some Mudaraba Deposits, additional rate was
allowed over the rate derived as per weight age. Profit is paid/provided to Mudaraba Deposit accounts at provisional rate
on half-yearly/yearly/anniversary basis considering overall projected growth, performance and profitability of the Bank
during the year. Final Rates of profit of any accounting year are declared after year end.

ii. Investment Operation:

Investments are recognized at gross amount on the date on which they are originated. After initial recognition
investments are stated in the Balance Sheet net off profit receivable and unearned income. However, provision for
investments is not net-off with investments.

Profit Receivable – the amount of unexpired portion of profit charged on Bai-Murabaha investment at the time of sale
of goods/ services to customer/ client.

Unearned Income - the amount of unrealized portion of profit/ value addition of fixed assets [property, plant & equipment]
under Hire Purchase Under Shirkatul Melk (HPSM) investment for gestation period.

For investment purpose two systems are followed:

a. Fixed return based investment

b. Variable return based investment

Fixed return based investment system is applicable for Bai-Muajjal, Bai-Murabaha investment mode. Under this mode,
Bank sells the goods to a client at a fixed profit /mark-up on deferred payment basis. Hire Purchase under Shirkatul
Melk (HPSM) is also a fixed return based investment mode. In this case rate of rent is fixed but amount of rent becomes
variable on the basis of diminishing balance method. Variable return based income is applied for our Musaharaka mode
of investment. In these cases, only ratio of Income Sharing is stated in the agreement.

Notes to the Financial Statements

iii. Income/Revenue Recognition Principle.

The bank earns income from various sources such as charges, fees, commission and investment. To recognize all sorts
of income, Bank follows Shariah principle strictly. Usually charges, fees & commission etc. are recognized on actual
basis. Recognition of income from investment follows principles as under:

For Bai-Muajjal, Bai-Murabaha Investment:


While creating each deal, in case of Bai-Muajjal, Bai-Murabah a mode of investment, mark-up/profit is added to the
bank’s purchase cost with a credit to unearned income A/c. Thereafter time apportionment of profit is recognised out of
the unearned income amount at the end of each month on accrual basis. Allowance (rebate) for early repayment, if any,
may however be applied at Bank’s discretion.

For Hire Purchase Shirkatul Melk (HPSM) Investment:


In case of HPSM mode of investment Rent is charged and taken into income account at the end of each month on
accrual basis. If the account has a provision of gestation period, no income is earned during the period. In this case
income starts just after the end of gestation period. However, Rent is chargeable in spite of gestation, if the delivery
of asset is completed in usable condition such as a machine or a set of machinery or building etc. All accrual income is
subject to prevailing classification and provisioning rules of Bangladesh Bank.

iv. Cost Recognition Principle


Cost in respect of profit paid on deposit is recognized on accrual basis. Monthly accruals in this respect are calculated on
the basis of provisional profit rate. Other costs are also recognized on the accrual basis following the matching concept
of accounting.

IT systems and controls


Key Audit Matters Our response to the risk

Our audit procedures have a focus on IT systems and We tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s
controls due to the pervasive nature and complexity of the IT IT access controls over the information systems that are critical to
environment, the large volume of transactions processed in financial reporting. We tested IT general controls (logical access,

to our audit.

Where deficiencies were identified, we tested compensating


controls or performed alternate procedures. In addition, we
understood where relevant, changes were made to the IT
landscape during the audit period and tested those changes that
had a significant impact on financial reporting.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information in the
Annual report other than the financial statements.
Our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements and Internal
Controls
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
IFRSs and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Companies Act,
1994 require the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the
Company.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements


Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually

383 Annual Report-2021


Auditor’s Report to the Shareholders of
Agrani Equity & Investment Limited

or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis
of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• dentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicated with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during
our audit.

We also provided those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh
the public interest benefits of such communication.

the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of
the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available

our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have

financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Institutions
Act, 1993 & the Bangladesh Bank Regulations require the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal
control and risk management functions of the Company. The Management is also required to make a self-assessment
on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal controls and report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosed in note 2.01, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial statements.

393 Annual Report-2021


Independent Auditor’s Report to the Shareholders of
Agrani SME Financing Company Limited

As part of an audit in accordance with IASs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during
our audit.

business have been written down to their estimated realisable values.

(a) which would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts
inadequate to any substantial extent in the financial statements of the Company; or
(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Company misleading;
or

Company misleading or inappropriate; or

financial statements of the Company misleading.

As at the date of this report, there does not exist:


(a) any charge on the assets of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year and secures the
liability of any other person; or
(b) any contingent liability of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

of the Company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

In the opinion of the directors:

item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature.

Auditor’s Report to the Shareholders of
Agrani Remittance House Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia
For the year ended 31 December, 2021

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Agrani Remittance House Sdn. Bhd., which comprise the statement of
financial position as at 31 December 2021, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in
equity and statement of cash flows for the financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 13 to 42.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as
at 31 December 2021, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the financial year then ended in accordance
with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the
Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence and Other Ethical Responsibilities
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice)
of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (‘By-Laws’) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA
Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’
Report but does not include the financial statements of the Company and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Company does not cover the Directors’ Report and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Company, our responsibility is to read the Directors’
Report and, in doing so, consider whether the Directors’ Report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the Directors’ Report, we
are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Company that give a true
and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards
and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Company that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Company as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.

407 Annual Report-2021


Auditor’s Report to the Shareholders of
Agrani Remittance House Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia
For the year ended 31 December, 2021

As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
 I dentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Company, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
 btain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
O
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control.
 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the directors.
 onclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
C
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures
in the financial statements of the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Company, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Other Matters
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Companies
Act 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of
this report.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Agrani Exchange House Private Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of
financial position as at 31 December 2021, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in
equity and statement of cash flows of the Company for the financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act,
Chapter 50 (the “Act”) and Financial Reporting Standards in Singapore (FRSs) so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of
the Company as at 31 December 2021 and of the financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company for the financial
year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (SSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Com-
pany in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public
Accountants and Accounting Entities (ACRA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Statement set out on pages 1 and 2.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the
Act and FRSs, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that
assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded
as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, dis-
closing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements


Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstate-
ments can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the
audit. We also:
● Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our

involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
● Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the cir-

● Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
● Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
● Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the finan-
cial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d)

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements


In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company have been properly kept in accordance
with the provisions of the Act.
